Associate Vice President, Audience Solutions
PubMaticNew York, New York, United States · Posted 5 months agoDescription
About the Role:
PubMatic is a recognized leader in audience solutions, having built one of the industry’s most advanced and comprehensive audience data platforms on the supply side. Our suite of audience capabilities has been a cornerstone of how the open programmatic ecosystem navigates the shift toward privacy-first, durable advertising, enabling advertisers to achieve relevance and strong ROAS without reliance on deprecated identifiers like the third-party cookie.
As signal loss accelerates and contextual and first-party data become the foundation of modern audience strategies, PubMatic’s Audience Solutions portfolio is at the center of this transformation. Our flagship capability, Connect, is a leading data marketplace that enables data vendors to monetize and manage their audiences against programmatic deals, driving incremental revenue to our publishers and better outcomes for advertisers. Today, Connect powers partnerships with dozens of premium contextual, behavioral, and intent data providers, and continues to scale rapidly as the market moves toward cookieless buying.
More recently, PubMatic has taken a leadership role in agentic advertising revolution. PubMatic launched and executed the industry’s first fully autonomous campaign in December 2025. Audience Solutions is playing a critical role in shaping that future, working jointly with data providers, curators, and buyers to build this new ecosystem.

This is a high-impact general management role that spans go-to-market strategy, sales, customer success, product input, product marketing, pricing, and team development.
The AVP will be responsible for defining the Audience Solutions business strategy, acquiring new Connect data partners, and scaling existing partner relationships.
